Microsoft’s app store for Windows has become a fairly impressive library of software for users, and we want our readers to go into the new year with apps that will make their PCs just that much better. To that end, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite apps from the Microsoft Store. Some came out this year, while a few are slightly older, but they’re all pretty great. We’re going to assume, if you’re here, you already have the basics — Microsoft Word, a Twitter client, the Xbox app. But there are a huge amount of apps available on the Store you might not have seen. The Windows Store unfortunately suffers from “haystack” syndrome: there are so many apps on the store (many of dubious quality) that it can be hard to find the ones that will actually benefit you and your life. Hard Fork? Hard Fork. HARD FORK So here’s a list of some must-have apps from the Store, both for those who use Windows for work, and those who use … [Read more...] about TNW’s favorite apps for Windows users in 2018

Many will likely get a games console this Christmas but, equally, there will be plenty who get the cash instead.That means they might be yet to choose which machine to buy.You have the ground-breaking Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One S.

The May unveil of the Xbox Adaptive Controller included a pledge from Microsoft: the company didn't care if other gaming companies jumped on board, or even piggybacked on Microsoft's product, to get more limited-mobility users into console gaming. Neither Sony nor Nintendo has followed suit by unveiling official support for the $100 XAC, but one enterprising user has confirmed what we long suspected. Other consoles (in today's case, the Nintendo Switch) can nimbly support Microsoft's ambitious controller after jumping through simple hoops. YouTube user MyMateVince posted his confirmation over the weekend (embedded below) along with a step-by-step guide of what's needed to open the Nintendo Switch up to the XAC—and, thus, its support for USB joysticks and 3.5mm-port switches and pedals. The biggest requirement is a third-party USB adapter, and this test used the Mayflash MAGIC-NS Wireless Controller Adapter (currently under $25 at Amazon). This adapter was chosen in part … [Read more...] about Nintendo joins the limited-mobility club with Xbox Adaptive Controller (unofficially)
